Service

Icelandair Cargo has decades of experience with animal shipping and transfer. We make every effort to ensure the safety and well-being of every animal whilst in transit.

Icelandair Cargo offers a fast and secure animal shipping service to almost every Icelandair destination. Shipping to other destinations is also a possibility with other carriers

Strict rules govern the transport and shipping of live animals. It is therefore important to ensure that all papers, documents, type and size of cage are in compliance with IATA Live Animals regulations

Icelandair Cargo sales handles pricing and booking from Iceland, while foreign carriers handle pricing and booking to Iceland

In the case of import to Iceland, the sender must contact a freight forwarder/pet agent  at the point of departure
